Leave it to T-Mobile CEO John Legere to help unveil a new phone heading to the carrier by taking a shot at a rival. With the announcement today that T-Mobile will be launching the Motorola Moto Z2 Force on August 10th, Legere notes that smartphone buyers in the U.S. no longer have to go to Verizon to buy a Moto branded handset. "Today’s news is a fatal blow to the whole idea of carrier exclusivity," said the executive. All four major U.S. carriers will be offering the sequel to last year's Moto Z Force flagship model.

T-Mobile will launch the Moto Z2 Force on August 10th, but starting today consumers can take advantage of T-Mobile's BOGO deal on the new phone when they pre-order the device. Put $30 down and pay $30 a month for 24 months for both units (Retail price is $750), and after a rebate in the form of a prepaid MasterCard, the second unit is free. One or more new lines must be added to the account.

With the Moto Z2 Force, T-Mobile subscribers will relax knowing that the ShatterShield screen prevents the display from cracking and shattering. And with the modular Moto Mod accessories, you can add a projector, a Hasselblad camera, a 360 degree camera, JBL speakers and more to the phone. Speaking of the Moto Mods, a free Insta-Share projector is being given away for free to every T-Mobile subscriber purchasing the Moto Z2 Force.

"For years, Moto fans have been trapped with one choice – Verizon, which is like no choice at all. Well, that ends now! Today’s news is a fatal blow to the whole idea of carrier exclusivity."-John Legere, president, CEO, T-Mobile

To reiterate, pre-orders for the Moto Z2 Force are being accepted right now at T-Mobile, with the phone set to launch on August 10th. Check out T-Mobile's unique unboxing of the Moto Z2 Force by clicking on the video at the top of this story.

Every carrier will need to give this away for anyone to be locked down for a couple of years. It’s an fugly phone with a small battery. Moto is on the same path as BlackBerry was. Total destruction. The price on this thing is just too much.
